American Airlines announced this week that it is renovating and expanding its Admirals Club lounge in Concourse D of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The finished lounge will cover more than 10,000 square feet, the carrier said, and add approximately 50% more seating. The airline plans to incorporate design elements inspired by Washington, D.C., though it did not give specific details about planned features or amenities.
The space will feature airside views of the U.S. Capitol and the Washington Monument.
Construction is expected to begin in early 2026.
American has three lounges at Washington National, the others being in Concourse C and Concourse E. The lounge in Concourse E was refurbished in 2022.
The two other lounges will accommodate American passengers while the Admirals Club in Concourse D is temporarily closed.
“We’re proud to serve the Washington, D.C., market, and it’s essential that we have the lounge footprint to support all of our customers in this important hub,” Heather Garboden, American’s chief customer officer, said in a statement. “The redesigned Admirals Club lounge will provide ample seating, an upscale design, and elevated amenities that reflect the premium experience our customers deserve.”
American operates more than 255 peak daily flights out of Washington National.
